Rooster Teeth Hit Series Day 5, RWBY, and Crunch Time Available For International Distribution

Pioneering entertainment company Rooster Teeth is expanding its long and successful distribution partnership with Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) to include international territories, kicking off MIPCOM in Cannes (Oct. 17-20). The companies are seeking international digital, home video and linear television deals for three hit Rooster Teeth series – Day 5, RWBY, and Crunch Time, all of which live on Rooster Teeth’s rapidly growing subscription video on demand platform (SVOD), FIRST. At the annual international content convention, the companies will be taking meetings with local distribution outlets from Europe, South America, Asia and Australia.

“Our audience has been thrilled with the new premium content we’ve been releasing on FIRST, the Rooster Teeth SVOD platform,” said Matt Hullum, CEO of Rooster Teeth. “From the apocalyptic drama Day 5 to the hilarious sci-fi comedy Crunch Time to the breakout anime hit RWBY, we’re excited to share this content with new audiences around the world.”

Day 5

Day 5, the award-winning, six-part long-form dramatic series from Rooster Teeth, is set in the immediate aftermath of a fatal sleep epidemic. After a fortuitous drug bender saves his life, addict Jake ventures out, unaware that most of the world already died in their beds. Battling sleepless fatigue and encroaching delirium, Jake teams with a scrappy teenager, an overnight doctor, and a red-eye pilot to search for answers…and just maybe find a way to sleep again. Day 5 presents a unique vision of the apocalypse that fuses serial drama and thriller around a human story of survival and redemption. Season 1 of Day 5 premiered in 2016 on Rooster Teeth FIRST. This October, Day 5 beat out Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart’s Electra Woman and Dyna Girl to take the Streamy Award for best Sci-Fi or Action series.

RWBY is Rooster Teeth’s world-renowned, award-winning anime series that tells the story of four different girls brought together for one legendary purpose. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are students at Beacon Academy, an ancient school designed to train the monster-slayers known as Hunters and Huntresses. Unfortunately, monsters aren’t the only threat in the world of Remnant, and if these girls want to graduate, they’ll have to learn to work together – both on the battlefield and in the classroom.

Crunch Time

Critically acclaimed Crunch Time is a half-hour sci-fi adventure comedy starring Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks, Inglourious Basterds), Nick Rutherford (Good Neighbor, Saturday Night Live), Jessy Hodges (Grey’s Anatomy, True Blood), Avery Monsen (Maron, High Maintenance), Brent Morin (How to Be Single, Undateable), Michael Hyatt (Nightcrawler, True Detective), Kirk Johnson (Lazer Team), and Burnie Burns (The Amazing Race, Lazer Team). In a highly classified location, four brilliant, jackass grad students are interrogated by government operatives. Why? Because after using reckless “cutting-edge” science for their own petty purposes, this rag tag team creates a small but potentially world-ending black hole in their college lab. The clock is ticking for this secret government agency to clean up the mess...and the students don’t know what the hell they did to tear open the fabric of space and time. The solution? T– tell these government operatives EVERY illegal thing they’ve done in the lab… Season 1 of Crunch Time premiered in 2016 on Rooster Teeth FIRST.
